Eggplant : Little Green

Medium-sized sweet green eggplants

Charming, single-stemmed plants yield an abundance of brilliant, neon-green fruits that are of medium size. They are sweet, mild and firm. A favorite eggplant for baking. A new introduction grown from seed from the former Soviet Union. Try this in cooler summer climates. One of the most beautiful and of superior quality.

The smaller varieties do quite well in containers (these should be least 12 inches deep). The ideal container for growing eggplant is 3 to 5 gallons in size. Fill the container with a mixture of potting soil and compost and make sure to give your eggplants lots of water and fertilizer. It can be helpful to use a tomato cage, as eggplants can get really large. Container growing works quite well for eggplant because you can move them inside if cold weather or frost threatens.
